The only time I have been able to find below market deals on MLS was when the local real estate market had cratered and there was tremendous supply and little demand.  

It it a tremendous help!

You can have a generic ads copy but if you have great video quality and you are hitting all of the pain points in the video, you will start seeing tremendous results. 

Columbus in particular is seeing tremendous growth as a result of big-tech companies like Intel and Google expanding their presence here, which is contributing to market appreciation.

The sad part if your numbers are not true because you make the insurance returns much better than they are and omit one of the biggest benefits in being in real estate which is the tremendous leverage and tax benefits. 

That is incredible @Bob Stevens is your buddy paying cash from his tremendous portfolio?

I'm finishing up a light rehab now; I'm selling a property that didn't work out the way that I thought it would; and I'm trying to qualify an off market lead I've been working for over a year.But with that said - it actually IS a challenging time to invest, with rates and prices high; low inventory; tremendous competition for deals both on and off market; contractors booked up; and more.everything you listed as their objections are VALID. 

Sure doesn't seem like it to me.I think you are creating tremendous risk for your sellers, who would be far better off facing foreclosure now, where they at least recover some of their equity, then risking an unknown buyer mismanaging their asset as part of a huge pool, creating the very real risk that they may still have to face foreclosure in the future, at or below the current asset value, and after they thought they had moved on from the deal.And, to answer your question about what should the little guy do... though, as we've already established, you are attempting to get 100 of these deals... it seems like you have the means to purchase three deals in a matter of months.

There's ALOT of crying spouces, kids, tremendous stress moving those sellers out!! 

With the power of assuming a loan, we have a tremendously better chance to cover this payment in the future, and maybe even take home some actual cashflow!
